  • Today's rating - Good

    There's some fun waves to be had this morning as ESE and SE swell combo hangs in around 2ft+ open beaches, grading a foot or so smaller elsewhere and closer to 1 to 2ft along the points. WIND: Early light WSW to SW inshore, tending SE to ESE 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon, ENE to NE later.

    ...Many beaches remain closed for the foreseeable future so be sure to check in with your local lifeguards before venturing out.
